ANIMAL. BEHAVIOUR
Konrad Lorenz is knowii for
0
two delightful books on animal
behaviour. "King Solomon's
Ring" and ''Man .Meets Dog."
Ile is alsu director of the ldax
Planck Institute.. for the Physi-
olpgy of Behaviour, situated 25
miles north of Munich in Bav-
aria, set on a lake surrounded
by woods.
Here are collected some 1000
birds,;, of which `200 comprise
Canada •geese. ' greylags . and
snow geese There are also
ducks and even two cranes.
The birds are living free but
hardly move *hen approached.
On the eozitrary they will pick
at your trouser leg and attempt`
tb untie your shoes laces. The
only thing they resent is to be
picked' up. --
These birds are 'attended by
several girls. Should one ap-
pear, she is immediately follow-
ed wherever she leads, by five
or so geese. If she sits they
make agreeable sounds of greet-
ing, pull 'her hair affectionately
and peck at her clothes, bu
quite cieecrrously. • They con-
sider her their' mother.
Imprinting
This is all part of a study
on what is kncwn as "imprint-
ing." Both' geese and ducks,
when hatched, tend to follow
the ,first moving object they see
and where the egg has been
artificially incubated, it becomes
quite natural for the goose to
attach itseL' to a .girl attendant.

whole `future development of
the animal. Ducks of different
species if reared together, try
later to mate. -
Two male ducks, 'reared to-
gether, will remain ,permanently
togethet, paying no attention
to females. Some do eventually
mate, but if the mate dies, they
revert to a male companion.
It is hoped thatthis study of
,imprint'ng may give some point-
ers as to .how best to rear a
child. At present we do not
know if we are harming our
babies by allowing• them to lie
in prams.
Perhaps we should be carry -
of choler loped in the -human
menagerie so firmly established
on the,bank of"the Ottaviriyiver.
For here Is an experimental
lab par excellence, where the
men -we ,/have elected to do a
serious, job are merely)* capable
of -cutting figures Of fun, hypoc-
risy and Irresponsibility, on a
scale whict, beggars serious con-
sideration..
Bird Migration
This Institute at Seewieseri
has a planetar:um in vich it
is hoped fo elucidate the mech-
anisms of birds, by which they
decidewhen to Migrate
Several authorities believe
they read the stars which is per-
ing tbern around like the chimp- fectl ' natural to those who re-
anzee and other primates just call that Charlie's predecessor,
as does the Indian or the
Chinese.'
A goose can become depress-
ed, Thr example, on the loss of
a mats Will these studies
throw any light pn mental ill-
ness? There is no suggestion
that lessons learnt from animals
would be directly applicable to
humans, but Lorenz's assistants
will have to be careful.
Recez.tly when discussing ,the
marital infidelity. of. a well-
known goose, one assistant, ex-
cused it b3 remarking: "After
all, geese are only human."
° Behaviour Of Fish
Lorenz is ,also -fascinated by
fish. He found that the fish of
the coral reef, which are'gorg-
eously colored, have a passion-
ate regarcbfor their own terri-
tory and fight all -comers most
aggressively.
Unlike the herring, they do
not form schools and it is at
once obvious they should be
encouragedto come to this neck
of the woods, where a• school ; a
day kelps solvency -at bay.
Shoal •fish have no personal
territory, but are migrant over
hinge --elastances - and .are nogg
egressive. Lorenz is trying to
measure the aggressiveness of
the coral reef fish. He thinks
their bright coloring is used to
warn off intruders.
He . is taking the time interval
between tete inhibition of •the
aggressive display, caused by a
frightening decoy; and a return
to eomnlacency, This might be
directly - comparable --with -the
time lapses between explosions

Since all' the bird s live 14 a
natural habitat, there is no tend-.
eney oto attribute human char-
aeteristics to them, which .do
not, in,fact, • exist.
Zoos are ,particularly mislead-
ing, since animals used to living.
;n herds °and being therefore
peaceable, become unnaturally
fierce when confined and isolat-
ed.
So the whole concept of -in-
stinct is in the melting pot, be-
cause the studies have revealed
that a sharp distiinetion between
learnt and -innate .behaviour
can no longer be upheld.
As previously indicated,, stud -
les ,of human beings are lacking
